I think KDE also relies on DBUS and HAL (which need to be installed and enabled via /etc/rc.conf), and activating the KDE login manager for X (kdm) requires an entry in /etc/ttys similar to the one that is suggested for Gnome; if it's not desired, use "startkde" (I think it is the correct name, or "startkde4" maybe) in ~/.xinitrc or in ~/.xsession respectively. And a general note: The "Step 2" does not belong to the installation, it already belongs to configuration (i. e. enabling the just installed piece of software). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
